"Got it running!" Max exclaimed proudly as she ran over to the others. "We just need to get this portal open." 

Ash nodded in reply before looking at where the portal had been only weeks ago. Their eyes glowed with their inner flame before unleashing a strong blaze that turned green upon opening the portal. "Everyone through now!" They exclaimed.
